I thought this could be useful for anyone that wishes to compile and test their code on the go, or (if they are in my situation) if they are on vacation only having their tablet (phone) running Android.
While being on flight I started to learn how Assembly works and wanted to start coding for our beloved NES, but I had to face the problem that there is no specific assembler for Android. Fortunately, the source code for asm6 is available, and no modification was needed to compile it in order to run on android.
At this point I want to point out, that I did not create this program. I just compiled it and want to share it as it might come in handy for one or the other.
Setting it up to actually compile something is really not hard, you just need to get Terminal Emulator and place asm6 in the specified folder by TE where executing code is allowed (just look into settings to see which directory enables executing programs). If needed I can write a tutorial for setting everything up.
I had no issues assembling code, only debugging is very hard, as there is no debugger for NES on Android, but that is another story.
